Chapter 941
When Candice shifted in her sleep, a sharp tug on her hair jolted her awake. Wincing in pain, she let out a whimper. As her eyes fluttered open, she realized she was in Elio’s embrace. Both of them nestled together under the blankets, skin against skin.

Her cry stirred Elio awake. He looked at her with bleary eyes, his voice gentle yet tinged with concern as he asked, “Candice, what’s wrong?”

Candice quickly pulled the blanket closer to her chest, embarrassment flooding her cheeks as she responded, “You’re lying on my hair.”

Elio immediately lifted his arm to free her.

Candice scooted away from his embrace, feeling bashful as her eyes darted around the room. She couldn’t help but steal a glance at his well-defined abs. With a soft voice, she asked, “How did I end up in your room?”

Elio offered a faint smile. “This is your room, too.”

Candice scratched her head, her recollection of the previous night was hazy. She vaguely remembered having a few drinks before everything went dark. Alcohol never sat well with her, often leaving her drunk after just a few sips.
